On getting to your vehicle

Upon the arrival of one of our mobile mechanics, he will first diagnose the problem before doing anything. If in the rare occasion he discovers that the problem is not a case of having the incorrect kind of fuel in the car, he will not proceed to do anything on the car and you will just be charged a minimal call out charge.

Our technician will be carrying the necessary tools and fresh fuel with him so if he finds out that it is really the problem of wrong fuel, he will fix it on the spot. He will empty out the mixed fuel, flush the fuel system, and replenish the tank with fresh fuel priced the same as that charged in the petrol station. We also accept all major debit and credit cards as we know your situation and hence there's no need to be scared if you are out of cash.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will quickly be shown by your engine. Symptoms stated above for an engine with the wrong fuel can also be observed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke appearing out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the car runs and even failing to run at all. But unlike wrong fuel, it can make your fuel filters require replacement.

Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your car to display similar signs. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. Nevertheless, if this is added straight away to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more harm than good. That's why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If this is added into the fuel tank by somebody who has no knowledge of AdBlue, the outcome would be bad for the engine.

We can get you back to your journey after we do the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, replacing with fresh fuel.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
